Sirag Named DOSM, InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam
AMSTERSDAM, NL, February 12, 2008. Hendrik Bosch, General Manager of the InterContinental Amstel Amsterdam, has appointed Jeroen Sirag as Director of Sales & Marketing of the Amstel Hotel. He will be taking over from Sales Director Elisa Soregaroli, who will be continuing her career at the InterContinental De La Ville Roma in Italy. In his new capacity, Sirag will be responsible for all Sales & Marketing activities at the hotel. He will be reporting directly to General Manager Hendrik Bosch.
"While working as Senior Account Manager at Stage Entertainment/ Joop van den Ende Theaterproducties, I really missed the international and dynamic character of the hotel business. So when the opportunity to work at the renowned Amstel Hotel arose, the choice was easy. The position of Director of Sales & Marketing enables me to combine my commercial experience, my know-how and my carefully built-up network with 140 years of hospitality and service at the very highest level."
Sirag started his career in 1994 in various Sales & Marketing capacities at Grand Hotel Huis ter Duin in Noordwijk aan Zee and Hotel The Grand in Amsterdam. In 2001 he left for London, where he worked at the five-star hotels The Landmark and the Great Eastern Hotel. In 2003, Sirag returned to work as Director of Sales at Hotel The Westin in Rotterdam, part of Starwood Hotels & Resorts. In 2006 he made the transition to Stage Entertainment/ Joop van den Ende Theaterproducties.
